    just imagine if the veteran didn't have a gun on him because of stupid gun laws! few people would have been dead for sure! lucky the woman survived, thanks to the veteran.

    unfortanitly it doesn't always go that way.

    look what happened in vegas. The 2 nuts killed cops and only the civilian that pulled his gun.

    yes it is unfortunate, but look at it as the glass is half full, not half empty.

    Whats really scary is someone wants to shoot someone bc they have their beverage on someone elses car. He should have shot him in the head and finished the job. Now we have another loser taking up 30k a year in tax paying dollars. He has no value for human life he does not deserve to live his own.....

    I lived in a country where blokes would just walk in a restaurant and start shooting. Lost some friends that way...

    ....now, if someone besides the bad guys had a gun, maybe my friends would not have been killed?

    we can look at that.

    my mom carries. she won't pull out her piece unless she has to (she's never had to). And she's not a terrible shot, either.

    most of the people I know are fairly well trained. and where the incident occurred, they were all very well trained. missing at very close range seems improbable

    and finally, considering most of the people in the restaurant were shot and killed, I firmly believe allowing others to carry besides the bad guy is the preferred scenerio

    IDK, I'm not into guns so. But I would think being good at the range would be different then under the stress of an actual shooting with moving targets. I've been in a night club with a shooting. People freak and are running. I honestly don't know if I want another person firing too.

    usually people who carry guns are good shot to begin with. if you have a gun most likely you've done some practice.

    I live in a country where only a small percentage of cops have guns, and the same for the bad guys. Mostly the bad guys just shoot other bad guys. Much better way for a society to be.

    Better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.
    Basic premise to me.

    well, I know.

    if someone is shooting at me....

    ....I'd rather be able to shoot back, instead of being a sitting duck.

    I'm not saying allow everyone to carry concealed. I'm saying, for those that do have the license, they need proper training.

    True. I don't have a CCW (yet) but have 23 guns. I'd like to have my CCW, BUT, I believe drawing a firearm escalates a situation and should be the last option, not first.

    I certainly don't want to be the hand that takes a life, however if my children or wife were threatened bodily harm or death, I would most certainly protect them and with a firearm if necessary.
